Dr. Pratap Bhanu Mehta Member Secretary President and Chief Executive Centre for Policy Research Dharma Marg, Chanakyapuri New Delhi– 110 021 7 CENTRE FOR POLICY RESEARCH PRESIDENT’s REPORT I am delighted to be able to introduce our Annual Report for 2013-14. This Report is self explanatory and details CPR’s myriad activities during the course of the year. As in the recent past, CPR faculty and research associates produced an astonishing array of publications, from scholarly books published by the top university presses in the world to op-eds published in less learned settings. The main highlights of these publications are captured in the thematic reports and the listings of individual faculty. The year covered by this Report was a year of great uncertainty and eventually momentuous change in India. It is something of a tribute to CPR faculty that, without compromising their independence, many CPR faculty played an active role in these debates. Work done at CPR on institutional decay and transformation, the political economy of corruption, accountability, judicial behaviour, the performance of social sector schemes, the changing dynamics of urbanization, environmental degradation, regulatory issues in energy policy, India’s approach to the world, all figured prominently in public debates and arguments. It was also incredibly heartening to see research done by young research associates break new ground in several fields like urbanization and environment. Our output was recognised in various ways. The Think Tank Initiative has renewed its support to CPR for another four years, providing us with an opportunity to strengthen, amongst other things, more data based analysis. CPR continued to do well in the space of major foundation grants. It also is attracting top class faculty. Very frankly, if we had space and a few more resources we could easily recruit more powerhouse faculty. During the course of the year, we came up with a strategy to address space issue and that process is now underway. Our second big institutional challenge was putting together a communications team. Resources for this team have been identified and will be in place in the coming year. Before turning to a more substantive account, I wanted to thank all those who supported CPR during the course of the year, particularly, Dr. Gita Piramal, whose support has given us some confidence that we can take on ambitious expansion plans in the near future. I want to record my appreciation of our Chairman, K.C. Sivaramakrishnan, whose intellectual energy and institutional commitment keeps CPR together and reminds 8 CENTRE FOR POLICY RESEARCH us of what is truly important. Members of the Governing Board have always held us to high standards. CPR’s administrative staff, led by Mr.L Ravi, has gone beyond the call of duty on so many occasions. I am particularly grateful to Navroz Dubhash, for taking on the responsibility for being Acting President. It is a measure of our institutional depth now that the President can occasionally try and educate himself with a short sabbatical! And our faculty and research associates have been a constant source of intellectual delight and engagement. I am grateful to them all. 9 CENTRE FOR POLICY RESEARCH THEMATIC CLUSTERS I. ECONOMIC POLICY ANALYSIS CPR’s analysis of economic policy is focused on macroeconomic dynamics, the intellectual foundations of service delivery, and issues at the intersection of economics and institutions. The Centre’s faculty are interested in how economic policy affects sectors ranging from trade and finance to health care and infrastructure policy. In the last year, CPR produced a fair bit of work in the area of economic policy analysis. Economists at CPR are currently working on several projects that are interdisciplinary in nature. These projects include critiques of economic policy and policy recommendations. The appointment of Senior Fellow Rajiv Kumar added new energy to this area. Under his guidance, the following projects/research units were started in the last year: i.

  • E81 Aruna Roy Mixdown
    Brown University Watson Institute | E81_Aruna Roy_mixdown [MUSIC PLAYING] SARAH BALDWIN:From the Watson Institute at Brown University, this is Trending Globally. I'm Sarah Baldwin. Aruna Roy is one of India's most prominent activists. In 1968, she became a civil servant in the Indian Administration Service. But in 1975, she left her role in government and started working directly with poor and marginalized communities. Because as she sees it, social justice work isn't driven by government officials. ARUNA ROY: The real change starts with the specifics. One has to get absolutely to the root of an issue. And it is from there the real change occurs. SARAH BALDWIN:In 1987, Roy and two other activists founded MKSS, the Association for the Empowerment of Laborers and Farmers. They've fought for everything from the right to work, to food security, to government transparency. Roy is currently a fellow at the Watson Institute. Her new book, Power to the People-- The Right To Information Story, looks at how this fight for government transparency in India grew from a movement into a law. We started by talking about her time in India's civil service, before she began her work as an activist. ARUNA ROY: I was trained for two years. It's very rigorous training. And you're taught what I call, government management. Business management is about how to run a business and make profit. The civil service teaches you-- the training in civil service-- makes you managers. Management of welfare state, of delivering services to the poor, ensuring that constitutional values are realized.
